5 Natural Cold and Flu Remedies

It has been an extra sickly flu season for a lot of the folks in my life, and I bet that a lot of you are battling the wintertime ick, as well. With more cold weather on the way in a lot of the northern hemisphere, it felt like a good time to round up a few of the cold and flu remedies that seem to actually make a difference. While there’s no way to totally cure a cold or the flu once it’s taken hold, these remedies can definitely help reduce your sickness’ severity and duration.

I wish I could remember who hipped me to oil of oregano, but this stuff has been great for me this flu season. Oil of oregano is rich in vitamins and minerals and is said to reduce pain and inflammation.

The second you start feeling run down, you’ll want to pop oil of oregano pills twice a day between meals. I normally get a couple of bad illnesses during the winter, and this time around I managed to kick the sick in just a few days, rather than battling symptoms for a week.

3. Zinc

According to a recent article in the New York Times, zinc is a powerful natural cold and flu remedy. The trick is finding a reliable lozenge. Many of the ones in the drug store have additives that either make the zinc less effective or lower the zinc content too much. Stick to a brand you trust and do some careful label reading to find a zinc supplement without too many extra ingredients and a higher percentage of zinc.

4. Neti Pot

I can’t say enough good things about the neti pot! While it’s a little bit tricky to use at first, once you get the hang of it, you’ll never want to be without yours. If you’re feeling congestion coming on, I’d suggest flushing with the neti pot a couple of times a day. Even if you still get sick, you’ll spend fewer days mouth breathing and nursing a dry, painful nose.

5. Rest

When all is said and done, rest is one of the best things you can do for your body when you’re under the weather. Your immune system needs time to do its thing, and resting gives your body a chance to heal. It’s sometimes hard to take a day off from work to nurse yourself back to health, but a day or two of rest now can help cut down the duration of your illness and save you many days of discomfort.

So, spill it, guys! What natural remedies have you found helpful during cold and flu season?

NATURAL ROOTS AND HERB ARE BEST TO GET RID OF SIMPLEX VIRUS TYPE 1&2
Hello, everyone! I,m here to explore blogs and forum about the wonderful
and most safe cure for HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS (HSV).
I was positive to the deadly virus called HERPES and i lost hope because
I became disaffected with conventional treatments, in that you have to take
some large pills every day, or large doses of antiviral medicine every time
you feel another rash is developing. This is an awkward and ineffective way
to rid an infection..
i searched online to know and enquirer about cure for HERPES and i read
someone testimony on how he was cured from HSV-2 so i decided to contact
the same herbalist because i know that nature has the power to heal
everything. i contacted him to know how he can help me and he told me never
to worry that he will heal me with the natural herbs from God!
after 2 days of contacting him, he told me that the cure has been ready and
he sent it to me via D.H.L and it got to me after 3 days!
i used the med as he instructed me (MORNING and EVENING) and i was cured!
its really like a dream but i am so happy! and he also said that he can cure other disease e.g CANCER, HIV, HBP, E.T.C
thatâs the reason i decided to also add more comment of Him so that more can
be saved just like me! and if you need his help, you can email him on
ododowuspellhome@gmail.com I,m olivia and you can contact
me via :oliviawanye@gmail.com
